At What Blood Sugars Do You Feel Your Best / Worst?

I feel my best whenever my BS is stable (a flat line on my CGM) for an extended period of time between 110 and 150. When I'm between 90 and 110 I usually feel good too, but I sometimes get low BS symptoms.

I feel my worst whenever my BS is between 180 and 210 -- for some reason I get more pronounced high BS symptoms in this range than I do when I'm over 210, I'm not really sure why. I also feel my worst when I'm below 70, and when I'm on a very sharp downward trend.

I keep extremely tight control on my sugar levels, so anytime I'm not between 90 and 100 I feel weird. I usually feel my worst, though, when I'm coming up from a low. I get so sick coming up and will even start to blackout. Is that completely random?

Wow Tammi, how do you manage to keep your control so tight? I would love to do so as well! I don't ever get close to blackout after a low, but I do feel like a truck ran me down. I feel SOOOO lethargic that I can't function!

I feel best and most productive @ about 80 - 110.. I start to feel sleepy over 170 (which is usually the peak after a meal (1 hour)). However, I really feel like crap @ 180+...... Sometimes I have to get on my Total Gym so I don't have to take more insulin.
